Rain Shadow Artisans Partners
We welcome individuals and community based and/or nonprofit groups interested in partnering with Rain Shadow Artisans to support our Mission for group collaboration by sponsoring or organizing teaching and educational opportunities for artists. These events would focus on building, curating, developing and promoting interest in art and artist talent.
Partner events would not involve marketing or sales of tangible artisan items. Donations or services are acceptable as means for supporting Rain Shadow Artisans within this Community role.
Partners and Vendors are strongly encouraged to participate in both Community roles.
As a collaborative group, we have a unique opportunity to foster community support, education and outreach. We cultivate relationships with other like-minded civic organizations, anticipating opportunities for cross training and volunteering.
Rain Shadow Artisans encourages individuals to assist in group events, markets, exhibits and teaching opportunities.
